TEN SUEDE JACKETS FOR EVERGREEN ELEGANCE
Whether aided by the burgeoning desire for cowboy style or not, the truth is that suede jackets will always be in style.
Trace any garment back far enough and its utilitarian roots will surface, but this is particularly obvious for suede jackets. Much like leather jackets, the allure of suede jackets stems from their durability. But alongside the promise of a lifetime of wear is a sense of luxury that few other materials can muster.
With brands like RRL and Ferragamo offering high-end yet classic silhouettes, the timeless appeal of suede jackets is still clear to see in 2024. But with the arrival of SS24 collections, refreshing new spins on the style have become readily available too. Look to Nothing Written, Our Legacy, or KHAITE for bolder proportions.

A button closure and spread collar give Our Legacy’s Welding Jacket a shirtlike appearance, doubling down on the style’s wearability and layering possibilities. In black, the luxuriously soft suede’s texture is put in the spotlight.

RRL’s authentic take on Americana makes it an obvious front-runner in the realm of suede jackets. This buttoned blouson features two flap pockets to the waist to detail the front while a grained sheepskin lining hammers home the premium character.
Featured In This Image: LOW CLASSIC jacket
Korean label LOW CLASSIC is well-loved for its minimal interpretations of staple luxury items. This cropped zip-through jacket is devoid of details to emphasize the natural beauty of the material.

Harrington jackets have been a standout feature of new-season collections, and few match the high-end flavor of this Bally iteration. The rich honey-hued suede is a candidate for the best material of the season.

The Jinn Jacket from KHAITE revolves around the chromatic interplay between the jet-black suede and shining silver press-stud hardware. Two large flap pockets punctuate the chest while subtle shapes like the shirttail hem add intrigue.

Suede’s texture makes for a beautiful display when delivered in pastel hues. This TOTEME suede shirt jacket plays with shadow and light for a constantly changing aesthetic that will age beautifully over time.

Biker jackets make up a large portion of the most popular leather jackets out there but it’s more rare to find one cut from suede. Stand Studio’s ability to reframe classic outerwear is on full show here, presenting an appealing contrast between the softness of suede and the prevalence of zips, buckles, and buttons.

Ferragamo’s long history means that it has access to some of the most luxurious materials in the world. Here, buffalo suede is the chosen medium, and, thanks to a hidden zip closure and flap pockets, there’s no hardware to interrupt it.

Cut from goatskin suede, Nothing Written’s Norman Jacket has a reassuring weight to it that can be equated to longevity. The blazer silhouette makes it an interesting styling piece, offering layering opportunities in the transitional season.
